Others , such as Taika Waititi’sStar Warsmovie , had no information whatsoever . The uncertainty surrounding these projects , compound with the franchise ’s difficulty with recoil and argument of recent , led many to question the hereafter of the franchise — yet , Star Wars Celebration 2025 ’s new announcements proveStar Wars’future is back on runway .
Star Wars Is Back To One Movie A Year… With Starfighter Announced
Shawn Levy’s Star Wars Movie Just Got A Massive Update
Some of the biggest news out of Star Wars Celebration 2025 so far is thatShawn Levy’sStar Warsmovie , officially titledStar Wars : Starfighter , is the next to be released afterThe Mandalorian and Grogu . Starfighteris confirmed to star Ryan Gosling as a currently nameless newStar Warscharacter . The film will be set a few yr afterStar Wars : The Rise of SkywalkerintheStar Warstimeline , but it is a standalone moving picture and will not connect to the Skywalker Saga .
This is major news for a legion of reason , from the ( highly anticipated ) confirmation that Gosling is joiningStar Warsmovies and TV showsto the surprising period inStar Warsthe movie will explore . Among the most decisive aspects of this update is the check thatStarfighterwill be released on May 28th , 2027 — which mean it will be release one year ( virtually to the solar day ) afterThe Mandalorian and Grogu . This suggestsStar Warsis back to releasing one movie per year , which would be rattling news .

In summation to the scandalous news show aboutStarfighter , Star Wars Celebration 2025’sMandalorian and Grogupanel provided brand name - novel insight intoStar Wars’next picture show . Although we have n’t yet gotten a poke forThe Mandalorian and Grogu , unexampled footage was shown that included clips of Sigourney Weaver’sStar Warscharacter , along with looks at Grogu , Din Djarin , and even the Razor Crest . However , The Mandalorian and Groguis far from the only upcomingStar Warsmovie confirmed to be in the work .
Rather , Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm Dave Filoni confirmed thatSimon Kinberg’sStar Warstrilogy , Taika Waititi’sStar Warsmovie , James Mangold ’s flick , and Rey ’s newStar Warsmovie are all in the work as well .

We’re Finally Getting A Sense Of Direction For Star Wars Again
Star Wars' Future Has Been In Question For Far Too Long
While I ’ve of grade been excited forThe Mandalorian and Grogu , and keep to see that as one of the most excitingStar Warsprojects come down the line , it ’s admittedly a relief to know there ’s much , much more on the way in the franchise than just that one movie . Yes , there have been many title foretell in recent years , but , as mentioned , many of them have felt at least a little uncertain . Some , like Waititi’sStar Warsmovie , even felt like they may never come . These update suggest just the antonym .
It ’s also encouraging to know thatStar Warshas really locked in on a route forwards for the enfranchisement . It ’s no secret thatStar Warshas struggled to ascertain its way recently , peculiarly now that the Skywalker Saga is over . In fact , exit had arisen even before the finis of that saga , hand many had taken issue with the subsequence trilogy . While I stand by the fact that many ofStar Wars’best TV showshave been made during this geological era of the franchise , it ’s true that the direction ofStar Warswas unclear .
With these newfangled declaration — specially the intelligence aboutStarfighter — my concern have been considerably relieve . It ’s exonerated that Lucasfilm is being very intentional about the movies that are on their manner in the franchise , and while it may have take some time , Star Warshas a path frontward . Perhaps most exciting of all , Star Wars Celebration 2025 is only just beginning , and already , Star Warshas proven there is so much on the horizon for the franchise .
